But yoemite, he is one ex-racist congressman/senator, who apologized, and admitted his mistake and atoned for it in public and in policy. His Democratic colleague never accepted or condoned his earlier racist views.
The NAACP issued a statement praising him at the time of his death. “Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card,” said Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP Washington bureau and senior vice president for advocacy and policy. “He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation.”
Whereas you dumb hick rank and file repugs officially embraced the racism of the turned repug Dixiecrats, and the vile
official policy of the Southern Strategy as practiced by repug presidents and candidates.
C'moln yosemite, you honestly can't see your buddies white robes?
Stop dancing so hard around the issue.
